The present application claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 200610104678.X, entitled as “NETWORK ACCESS AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION METHOD AND AUTHORIZATION KEY UPDATE METHOD”, and filed with the Chinese Patent Office on Sep. 23, 2006, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a network access authentication and authorization method and an authorization key update method, which are applicable to wire networks and wireless networks such as wireless local area networks (WLANs), wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs), and broadband wireless multimedia networks (BWMNs).

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Security considerations are far more important in wireless networks than in Ethernet. IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) has established 802.11 and 802.16 series standards to enhance security in WLANs and WMANs and provided secure access to base stations (BSs) from mobile stations (MSs); China enacted a national standard GB15629.11 for WLANs, usually referred to as WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure (WAPI) protocol, in May 2003. Data communication and broadcast communication converge in BWMN which is a novel wireless network architecture; likewise, BWMN also faces security problems, such as secure access and authentication and authorization.

IEEE802.11 standard employs Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) protocol to achieve security of WLANs; however, from both of theories and applications, severe security vulnerability exists in the WEP protocol. Even if IEEE puts forth 802.11i standard as supplement to eliminate the security vulnerability in WEP, the 802.11i standard can not realize direct identity authentication between mobile stations (MSs) and access points (APs), that is to say, the 802.11i standard only realizes the mutual authentication between mobile stations (MSs) and authentication server units (ASUs), but does not realize direct identity authentication between mobile stations (MSs) and access points (APs); thus, the security has to be enhanced by means of other security protocols. For example, a secure channel has to be established between the access point and ASU by means of other security protocols. A secure channel has to be established between each access point and the background ASU in advance and such a secure channel usually has to be established manually, which is adverse to system expansion. In addition, the reliability of security is poor, i.e., since a secure channel has to be established between each access point and the ASU, the security of the channel will affect the entire network system.

The WMAN standard (i.e., IEEE802.16 standard) put forth by IEEE can solve the problem related to authentication between MSs and BSs, but it can not prevent attackers from disguising themselves as BSs to spoof MSs. Since the authorization key is merely encrypted and protected with the public key of the MS, any one can fake up such packets without being detected.

Though IEEE802.16e standard improves the solution based on the IEEE 802.11i standard, it can not implement direct identity authentication between MSs and BSs yet. Furthermore, a secure channel has to be established in advance between BSs and ASUs by means of other security protocols. Key management employs a time synchronization mechanism, which involves complex state management, i.e., the enabling/disabling of a new key depends on time-based judgement; however, in a distributed system, it is a complex task to maintain the synchronous clock. The system has numerous states and is complex to manage.

Chinese standard GB15629.11 eliminates some defects in the WEP protocol. However, the standard only implements mutual identity authentication between MSs and access points but does not support one-way authentication for MSs by access points, and therefore can not meet the application demand only for the one-way authentication. For example, in BWMN, not only mutual authentication between BSs and MSs but also one-way authentication for MSs by BSs are required. Furthermore, in the key negotiation process, a huge amount of exponential operations have to be carried out, which not only increases the computation load on the devices but also have severe adverse effects on system performance.
